Sorry to revive an old thread, but I figured this might help anyone looking for this answer. This stumped us for a couple days as well, but one of the answers pointed us in the right direction. The settings are stored as Binary in:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Connections
DefaultConnectionSettings
SavedLegacySettings
To get the binary we needed I made the changes required and then did an export of the same settings under HKCU, edited the .reg file to point to HKLM, and then imported.
Hope this helps someone!
